(More customer reviews)This three stooges video features the shorts,"Cookoo Cavaliers","Booby Dupes," and "Busy Buddies." ( All Curly shorts.) In "Cookoo Cavaliers", the stooges are Larry Hook, Moe Line , and Curly Sinker, fishsalesmen who've been trying to get rid of their fish because the fish smell really bad. So, the stooges decide to get out of the fish business and go into the saloon business. But the stooges' investment broker thinks that they want to buy a beauty salon and sells the stooges an abandoned beauty salon in Mexico, where the stooges create havoc by giving four women horrible facials and horrible haircuts. In "Booby Dupes", the stooges are fish- salesmen again. This time, they decide to catch their own fish and buy their own boat, because they first got their fish from a store and they were selling it off the street in their car and business was really bad. They also want to get rid of the middle man.In "Busy Buddies", Moe and Larry enter Curly in a milking contest at the county fair. The reason why: their breakfast restaurant is about to go out of business so they think this "contest" will help them save their breakfast restaurant from going out of business by winning the prize money. When Moe and Larry take Curly to a pasture to pratice for the contest, Curly doesn't know the difference between a cow and a bull!

"Cookoo Cavaliers" (1940) and "Booby Dupes" (1943) are respectively the 51st and 84th entries in the Columbia series of Three Stooges shorts. While most of the shorts on these releases are in no particular order, both of these episodes start with the boys in the fish business. In the first, their 30-day-old catches and lack of customers force them to purchase what they think is a saloon down in Cucaracha, Mexico, but it turns out to be a beauty salon. Here one feels a little sorry for the senoritas whose hair is totally destroyed by the Stooges' ineptitude. However, Curly's pantomime (with sound effects) of a bartender is a gem."Booby Dupes" begins as a literal remake of the 1932 Laurel and Hardy classic "Towed in a Hole," and perhaps it suffers by comparison. It is business as usual as they try to fix up a craft that is not seaworthy, which they of course manage to sink on their first fishing trip out. Their signaling a plane with a towel that has a paint stain very much like a Japanese flag is merely a contrivance to bring the film to an all-too-common hasty conclusion."Busy Buddies" (1944, #78) has them as restaurateurs with Curly as a cook to whom chicken soup means passing boiling water through a hen. A pie delivery does not lead to what one would expect but to their need to earn $100 by Curly's winning a milking contest so they can pay their bills. They lose when the crowd realizes he is milking a fake cow with Larry, Moe, and a huge supply of milk inside. The film ends with the three beating a hasty retreat, this time from the arena. --Frank Behrens
